The ship has an integrated instrument set for the collection of samples as well as for the analysis of interactions and processes occurring at the atmosphere-sea-water interface and in the water column. In addition to the laboratories inside the ship there are also observatories and seminar room for students. Thanks to the extensive range of accessories, 'Oceanograf' is one of the most modern research vessels operating in the Baltic Sea. Due to the various range of research carried out using the ship (research seabed bathymetric research, chemical research, geological research), 'Oceanograf' combines the functions of various vessels units. The research vessel enables interdisciplinary studies of the marine environment, including: hydroacoustic measurements for non-invasive studies of the structure and type of sediment and the shape of the seabed, collection of sediment cores, samples of biological material and assessment of the state of biological resources.
